BDifficulty 2/5

Must a two-wheeled moped have a main-beam or long-range headlight?

Correct answer

No, it may have it as authorised optional equipment.

No. Article 21.2.3 of the General Vehicle Regulations permits two-wheeled mopeds to have main-beam lighting but does not make it mandatory equipment. Dipped-beam lighting is required under article 21.2.1. Motorcycle mandatory equipment must not simply be applied to mopeds. Any fitted device must meet its applicable technical requirements.
